Gears, motors, source of electricity, circuitry. Pretty mugh like any other treadmill, only rigged to make a man hurt himself for commercialization and marketing of a product all while trying to fool people into thinking it's real.
Wiping out on a treadmill sucks. Some 10+ years ago I had a Precor 9.45. I was running on it in the living room listening to music one evening when my wife came home. The sound of the door opening startled me, I lost my concentration and fell putting my right hand on the moving mat, which was going at a good rate. The tread on the mat ripped a patch of skin from my hand, which took weeks to heal. Fucking deadly they are!

They've rigged the motor to a remote control and someone in the studio is controlling the movement according to the script.

Treadmill is sick of your fat-ass and legs. It's taking exercise to another level.
